Description

Estimated Price: £6,000 - £10,000

  • Introduced during the early 1930s, the Vauxhall Light Six offered smooth six-cylinder motoring in a more compact and affordable package, becoming an important model for Vauxhall during the period
  • This 1934 example is powered by its 1,530cc six-cylinder engine, mated to a four-speed manual gearbox, finished in maroon and black over a brown interior
  • The car has enjoyed remarkably low ownership throughout its 92-year life, with our vendor advising that it has had just four owners from new, including himself
  • We understand that it was originally purchased new in London and retains its original bill of sale, adding an appealing piece of early provenance to the accompanying history
  • It also retains its original handbooks, old logbooks and a factory lead weight, with a superb history file accompanying the car
  • The Vauxhall was restored in 1984 and has reportedly required very little work since, our vendor describes it as being in very good condition today
  • Importantly, the restoration appears to have retained the car's character, with our vendor advising that with the exception of the zinc sprayed items during the work, everything remains original
  • The car has been in our vendor's ownership for the last seven years and has been enjoyed as an interesting and usable example of Vauxhall's pre-war six-cylinder saloon
  • With its handsome period styling, compact dimensions and smooth six-cylinder engine, the Light Six offers a particularly appealing route into pre-war motoring
